Pool company finished my pool just in time to fill and winterize last year. When I opened it this year (2 weeks ago) it looked great and still does, but I want to make sure it stays that way.
What should I do first?
Gunite pool. Is that the same as plaster that I read about on here?
I have an auto cover and plan to keep covered when not in use.
Typical useage will be 2-4 hours after work at least 3 days a week and then 4-6 hours a day on the weekend with an average of 2 adults and 4 kids playing hard and jumping in alot.
My pump is a Pentair Superflo VST variable speed pump
Sand filter is a Pentair Tagelus TA-100D
After reading these fourms I think I may have been duped on the FROG mineral system. Should I just let the bac pac run out and disconnect it? Should I use it when I go on vacations to maintain?
Had some fun remembering my chemistry class using the Taylor K-2006C. Ran the tests a few times each and feel pretty comfortable on my numbers below.
Stats:
PH =7.5
CYA = 0 (water never even started to look cloudy)
FC = 1
CC = 0
TA = 70
CH =120
I have been letting the FROG keep the FC at around 1, and after heavy use throwing in a little granular chlorine to help get back up to 4 FC and then settle back down to 1 with the FROG.
We do alot of swimming in lakes and rivers no chlorine and don't have issues. Why is keeping the pool at 1 FC bad?
My first thoughts are I need to get CH up to 300ppm and CYA up to 20.
Any opinions are appreciated.
Playing around with pool math. What should my goal stats be. If you need more info let me know.
